The studio was approached by Ubisoft Montreal and asked to visualize the “interior workings of a super-connected network of devices,” which are prevalent in the game’s fictionalized, near-future version of Chicago.

The footage was then produced using Ubisoft’s gameplay sequences in order to provide a background to the game’s narrative.
